Elves Live In The Land      
       Beyond The  Great Dam.     
  It  Was Built In  The  Late Sixties.  
     The Elves Came To Us  Then.    
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came To Trust  Them.          Us 
 Kids Would Play  Down At The Water  Even 
 Though We Were Not  Allowed.       
    Sometimes  The Sluice  Would  Close 
 Entirely,  And  The  River  At  The Dams 
 Foot  Would  Dry Up, Revealing The Rocky 
 Water  Garden   That  Had  Been   Hidden 
 Beneath, And We Would  Go There.     
       Before  The  Dam Opened Again, 
 There  Would Be A Signal,  But The Elves 
 Would Make  Us Not Hear It, And Suddenly 
 We  Would Find The Water Rising, Already 
 At Our Knees.                
                      
   By  Then The  Elves Would Be Gone.
